Mists of War - DM Downrightamazed

Three groups of gaijin approach the Son of the Heavens, ruler of the Empire of Mists, in his palace in far Lanzhu. A great war is underway in the west, this is known, but what could these strangers want?

True, I'm just afraid of getting my player knowledge mixed up with my character knowledge and with how much sheer awesome is put into each game. Its hard not to lose yourself in it all. The only reason I do so well in Legacy of Marinasu is because I kept pertinent facts on a spreadsheet I made xD

Right now though I've just got to make sure Chu doesn't get injured. ;)

Here's the list of "To Do's" (both optional and "required") that I'm aware of that have been discussed openly:

--Tea with Shoto in the morning (invitation accepted, right?)
--Preparation for Third Dinner (Tokine and Azami have responsibilities here, I believe.)
--Attendance at Third Dinner (Tokine and Azami for certain. Do Kyras and Erudima have invitations?)
--Possibly some meeting with the Emperor for Kyras and Azami (which has newfound uncertainty)
--Azami must go speak with Captain Takagami about the Plum Blossom ring.
--Dungeon Diving for Rhon Tai's soul.

Ugh - forgive my last post's erratic flipping between present and past tense. I spent a good amount of time today writing furiously in the past tense. So my present tense is peppered with tense changes and many of my pronouns are unclear.

@Chu: Well that's relieving. I read back and confused myself. So as long as everyone else can understand, that's good!

@Tokine: At the risk of being an uber-dork, I've been in a creative mood of late, and this is game feeding it. So yesterday, I drew Tokine as best I could. This is a photo of the result - I will be scanning tomorrow.

Nope, nope! Sorry, waiting for the group at the temple to gather themselves up and come a-knockin' at your door. In the meantime I'm picking over my material on the Uniter to give you something relevant that you'd be able to secure from the various resources you would have immediate access to, i.e., local collections, limited research, etc.

Well. That turned out better than expected. These are images from my phone, as the scanner is also not working. I might go get everything scanned this weekend.

@Kyras: Here's the pencil I did last night for Damian before I got your suggestion. Not exactly John Barrowman (but really, nothing's quite like the original Jack Harkness. *ahem*) Pencil for Damian

I have an idea for Kyras that I'm going to try, and I might have it later today.

@Tokine: Here's the pencil for Tokine. (I kind of like it better than the colored) I might redo her sometime when/if I find a suitable model - this was mostly out of my own head, which is never as good. Pencil for Tokine

Kyras: As a note, you don't state what color Damian's eyes are in his appearance description. If you could get me that info before I color tonight, that would be helpful! I've edited Kyras and Damian somewhat in the last few hours, so they are slightly different than the pencils I posted.

They both look great. Free art is nothing I'd complain about. (Damian's hair is darker and plainer, though.) I do like that he is plain, in a way. He's charismatic as a soldier, not a ruler; he's the sort of man that leads armies by mutual respect, not nations by presence.

Kyras is good, though his hair is a little wilder. He's a lot less serious than Damian, and a lot more outgoing. Quite mercurial, really. (Ah! Figured out the actor I'd pick: Ian Somerholder from Lost and Vampire Diaries. I was going to describe him as having hair that is more brown, but that picture is actually spot on the money.)

So, this actor is rather different from the Viggo I used ;) Do you see Kyras with scruff/facial hair? Just checking. I've put up a new one for him with longer, wilder hair.

Chu? I can try to look up serpentfolk or something. Let me know if there's an image that resonates with you.
Shoto - I will start as soon as I get those answers from you.
Dare Mo - ...I kind of feel like just posting a blank sheet of paper would be the most accurate. ^__^

This pic is the closest I could find, I won't burden you with drawing horns or anything like that.

===================================================================

But if you want to challenge yourself. ;-) Chu has a pair of horns that come straight off like the dragon in my user pic, and he has a single large frill that opens or closes depending on his emotions. Like I said before though I look forward to what you come up with. =D
